Hey everyone, Adrian here. The day has finally come. The Ghost mask arrived and I am honestly blown away. I took two photos for you all. One shows it sitting normally and the second shows how it looks when the balaclava is pulled tighter under the chin to give that more defined jaw shape. Seeing…
Hey everyone, Adrian here. Today’s update is all about a pretty big twist in the storyline that me and Tati talked about. Credits to her because she really cooked with this one.
